Football. ua figured out the game of the teams of the central match of the 5th round of the championship of Germany.
The German Bundesliga is gaining momentum, and for the starting four rounds Munich Bayern for the joy of a large part of the fans managed to lose to Hoffenheim. This, as usual, led to talk about intrigue, the strength of Borussia and the problematic style of Ancelotti. Schalke, who did not lose at home the last 9 matches, was to become another not simple rival. But something went wrong.
Flank game, which became the key Under Ancelotti Munich completely abandoned the positional game. Last year, after changing the formation from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1, Carlo thus began to build the game through the flags, as the center became less on the player. But here there are some nuances.
Bavaria often plays for build-up without a center field. Fulbeek go into the attack and the OPZ drop to the CZ for the ball - the scheme resembles 4 (2-2) -0-6. Here is an example from yesterday's match.
In the first 20 minutes, the hosts well used this, pressing the defenders and forcing them to play through long transfers to the flanks, if the fullbacks of Bavaria were coming back, or through casting forward.
When the ball was on the flanks of the players Schalke, the three of them often covered the "Bayern". But after the starting 10 minutes the Gelsenkyrhentsi began to have problems. Collective pressure turned into local attacks of wingerbacks Schalke.
They highly and aggressively entered into the selection, without having an insurance on the flank. Naturally, Coman and Hames one by one beat them. After losing the player or position, the laterals returned to the defense almost on foot.
Kalijuri sharply threw himself on the Koman and was cut off by the transfer.
Sometimes it was frank laziness, as in the moment with the second goal of Hames:.
Problems in the center of the field in Schalke Formation 3-4-2-1 provides a good organization of the defensive play in the center of the field. If Chelsea have two classy HMOs, then Schalke has more than two good b2bs there (from the gate to the gate).
McKenney and Bentalab well support the attack, but in terms of positional protection they have many problems.
Concentration on the ball In a game against an opponent who is clearly above the level, it is important to keep your zone as clear as possible. Throwing on the ball, and then following it, it's easy to become a victim of a fast-paced game. For example:.
Both ZPZs played for the ball, leaving their positions. Bavaria easily with the help of the pas played them, and Hames has the ability to promote the ball into a full free zone.
Wrong choice of position In this case, McKenney went to press on the player who was closer to the transfer, but there was already Bentalabe, because of what the zone turned out to be open. Lewandowski sank there and got the ball.
Slow transition from attack to defense In the first half, Schalke players tried to maintain constant pressure. The PZ line was high enough, but if Bayern came out from under pressure, the ZPZ and laterals took their positions long enough.
A few words about Konoplyanku Zhenya came out after the break, and if in the attack to show a chance was not enough, then in the defense he had to play a little more organized. Protection has never been his strong place, but if you want to be a strong gambler it's just necessary.
In the screenshot above, Zhenya took the position between Tolisso and Hames, not pressing the first and not closing the transmission line for the second - Khames was left alone between the lines.
In the second half of the problems in defense less did not become. Embolo's exit instead of McKenny obliged Goretska to play lower, but he played APZ, not helping Bentaleb at all. Because of this, these outputs.
He also often made mistakes positively:.
Here he does not close the transmission line, Muller jerks away the player next to Hames, and he gets the ball absolutely one.
The main task of Tedosko is to find a balance in the center of the field, because you will not go so far.
